Professional Background

I’m a clinical psychology major who provides psychotherapy and psychological assessment in health clinics, professional groups, schools and parishes. I have worked alongside psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors in providing mental healthcare, skills training, psychological first-aid, and mental health awareness to local communities, families, and individuals.


Coaching Specialty

– Holistic well-being (finding peace and balance in the midst of ordinary work and daily life)
– Emotional awareness (understanding your own and others’ emotions, managing automatic thoughts and reactions)
– Existential Coaching (understanding your philosophical worldview, exploring your ‘why’ and your idea of ‘a good life’)
– Vocational discernment (exploring your passion and talents, responding to a calling)


Personal Background

I was 16 when I set out for something totally new: living in a city miles away from the stable and loving home I had always known. I travelled to pursue education in the field of psychology. You’d think I had wanted to go – after all, it was my decision? But it was one I had made with a knotted stomach, tear-soaked eyes, and an anguished heart.

Why then did I go? I went in response to a call; knowing that if I ignored it, I’d be forsaking all the good things I had received up until then. Taking that step to respond to something beyond just my own wants and comforts was one of the best decisions, and opened up a space for deeper meaning, purpose, and significance in my life.

Perhaps you are facing some new opportunity, a change that you, too, feel called to set out to. It may be as dramatic as a change of career, home or family life, or philosophical worldview? Or it may be as simple yet impactful as a change of habit, routine, or perspective on a matter? In any case, I understand at least a bit about where you’re coming from.

I have been in the field of psychology for 9 years now (over 40% of my life). Through these years of engaging with others in 1-on-1 sessions and hearing their personal stories of struggle, sacrifice, courage, and redemption, it has become my passion to walk alongside others as they respond to the call and take the leap towards change.


Coaching Style

I provide a space where you can feel free to be yourself, to explore your thoughts, and to voice out your inner-you. We will work hand-in-hand as I support you to challenge your status quo, unlock your potential, and embody the person you are meant to be.


Personal Philosophy

The nature inscribed in every person is directed towards what is good, true, and beautiful. Each of us is called to live a meaningful and purpose-driven life.
